Chapter 17- The Quest

A/N: Okay, shout out to: auburn2 for the awesome idea of hers!

I don't know how to dedicate chapters to people, but thanks a lot!

Commander/King Alpha's pov-

"How does that feel, boy?" Kronos screamed at me, while I was being electrocuted, in the now dirty water.

"You... know... the damn... answer!" I wheezed out in pain.

The electricity surged up my body, lighting my hands on fire. The fire was spreading up to my shoulders, it was horrid. The pain was... something I never felt before.

"Good bye for now, hero," Kronos whispered, leaving me in with my burnt body.

He had been here for at least three hours, straight, today. Does that dude ever give up? I mean, my god, you lost when I was a freaking 16 year old, go eat some chicken. That was over 3 century's ago, get over yourself, dude!

Chiron's pov-

"The 1st legion finished searching the forest, the 2nd legion is checking the forest over again to see if they missed anything. Where else do you think Miss Chase, and Commander Alpha could be?" Carstairs, the second in command of Alpha's army, asked respectfully.

"I... don't know," I said quietly. Never before had two people so important gone missing. A commander and a strategist. This camp never had to actually have search party's go out to search for someone. Except when Percy Jackson had gone missing, but at the time the war hadn't really been going on, yet. And we knew where he was after Jason had gotten his memories back, which had been very soon.

Carstairs looked at the ground thinking, and when he looked up, I knew that very little hope was left.

"Call a counselors meeting, I'll call the centurions together," he said gravely.

--

"Okay, counselors meeting... should have seen that one coming," Clarisse yawned, with her feet prompted up at the Ares cabin counselors spot.

"Yeah, you should have told us sooner, we would have gotten out of bed earlier then," Chris yawned alongside the Stolls at the Hermes cabin counselors spot.

Travis and Conner fist bumped, giggling to themselves- probably over a prank.

"Uh, lovebirds, its 1:36 p.m., shouldn't you have been up by now?" Piper asked curiously, glancing at the digital clock hanging on the wall opposite of her.

"Yeah we know what time it is," Chris stated.

A centurion of Alphas army was watching them carefully, wondering what the heck was going on.

"Then why..." the centurion trailed off curiously.

"We stayed up a tad late, you know," Chris winked implying how they had fun with each other.

"That's just... ew!" Piper yelped up like a hurt puppy.

"WE PLAY'D MONOPOLY WITH THE STOLLS, THAT WAS IT!" Clarisse yelled out embarrassed.

I finally walked in the room from where I had been with Carstairs. I may not have been in there, but I heard every word they had said.

"Enough, we are here for important matters!"

"To find Miss Chase and Commander Alpha," Carstairs finished off for me.

3rd Person

Frank was sitting there next to Clarisse thinking silently. But he had caught my attention from him looking in the corner, at a chair.

"I stole this box from someone from the other army... it could help," he said uncertainly, getting up and grabbing a silver container from across the room from where he had been looking to.

Frank placed it uncertainly on the ping-pong table.

"What do you thinks in it? Maybe a proposal ring for Hazel!" Dove squealed to Explo.

Explo chuckled, "I don't think this is the right time to propose. Plus he said he had stolen that,"

Hazel then leaned in and whispered to the, "Frank and I are already married. We got married July 22, 2046,"

"OH MY GODS!" Dove squealed. Piper looked over.

"This is not the place to talk about this stuff," Piper said glancing over at Frank unlatching a bunch of latches, "but it was an adorable wedding. Jason and my wedding was just as good of course," Piper finished off looking pleased with herself.

"Jason and Pipes got married June 19, 2043. A few years before me and Frank," Hazel giggled out.

The last latch sounded, and everyone grew quiet- and yes, even Dove's squeals.

"It's... a map, compass, and walkie-talkie," Frank said quietly.

"And the map is circled and everything... useful, but very stupid of them to carry around," Carstairs noted.

"Of course," Chiron said stroking his beard. "A quest?"

Everyone looked at each other, competing with glares for it. Finally Piper, Jason, Frank, Blondie, and Arrow were given the quest. And were to leave by morning.

Would they be too late?

Or would Alpha be saved, and realize what had happened to Annabeth?

Maybe, maybe not...

••Chapter Over••

Sorry! I just had terrible writers block, even with the great ideas from readers [thanks by the way].

But I remember the box thingie I wrote Frank about finding/stealing it. You may have forgotten also, but it happened!

Schools going to start soon, so I may update either more or less. But I also thought I'd update more during the summer, but that didn't happen.
